#he's just handling it REALLY badly

[demonic-mnemonic]

Boy Maggie and Nina REALLY picked the wrong one to have the You Need To Communicate talk with. Because I think we ALL know how it would have gone if Aziraphale had approached Crowley instead of the other way around. That besotted demon would have propelled them both straight to Alpha Centauri at warp speed just by the sheer force of throwing himself into Aziraphale's arms

Someone said this already but I’ll point it out again that Jimmy is an unreliable narrator and a manipulator that spins and alters the narrative/tone of every scene he’s in with each character.

This sentence also applies to Curly.

Too many people are taking how Jimmy talks to Curly and how Curly is actually responding at face value when between Anya and Curly he is again the second most affected by his presence. This is to say he changes how he is acting drastically when dealing with Jimmy in a more similar way Anya does than people are willing to admit.

I’ve been slowly making my way through some mild artist and writers block, and behold, I give you this mini-comic of two of the next gen Nekton kids I came up with. This features Jackson and Kai, the only two boys in the group, both the same age. And Kai is questioning some of Jackson’s choices right about now…

A fun fact about Jackson is that he has thalassophobia, which isn’t great when your whole families thing is being drawn to the water, and you come from generation after generation of underwater explorers. It’s even worse when you yourself are fascinated with the ocean, love to learn all about it, yet whenever you take family trips on you and your cousins parents old submarine, you spend half the trip hidden away in your room and stubbornly avoiding the windows because if you see the endless blue ocean surrounding you, one of your parents is gonna find you having a mild panic attack on the floor sometime later. But you’re NOT going to just skip those trips and stay home like a sensible person with that super specific fear would do, cause it’s one of the only times you get to see your cousins and grandparents for long stretches of time and in person, AND there’s still a fair number of stuff to do on a submarine that doesn’t trigger your phobia of the ocean your freaking family is drawn to. He’s also way too stubborn to not go anyways, and it’s entirely genetic and gives his parents migraines.

Yet Jackson is still scared after fifteen years of being fascinated with the ocean like any other Nekton regardless. Fifteen years of slowly beginning to feel self-conscious of his phobia, fifteen years filled with many conversations with his parents and extended family about how he’s still loved and they don’t care that he’s scared of the very thing their family has spent generations loving. Fifteen years of slowly feeling left out and slowly feeling like an outsider in his own family. And those family trips are starting to make Jackson feel a little miserable, and even more self-conscious.

So he decides to try taking matters into his own hands, saves up some money, and buys the most thalassophobia inducing game of all time, and tries to bully the thalassophobia out of himself by scaring himself senseless with Subnautica. And he’s not going into it TOTALLY blind, he did some research! And he’s super into world-building and creature design, so he’s been eyeing the game for a while anyways. He just, uh, didn’t anticipate how much it would get on his nerves in the first place, and his cousin doesn’t shut up about it for a long time

Bonus, Ant and Fontaine wondering what the heck the boys are doing upstairs, and why they’re screaming so much

(not shown later that night, Jackson and Kai both sitting at the dinner table with thousand yard stares and refusing to elaborate what happened earlier that day when questioned)

Wow damn I'm genuinely surprised by that ending! I wasn't expecting so much... emotional maturity is how I'd put it? It was very bittersweet and really respected Shadow's personality

Also the way his voice immediately softens when he talks to Maria aughhhhh stop it

[keydekyie]

the boy lacks emotional self awareness

And here we go sukuna vs gojo 2.0 how exciting

Rewatching I Robot... You Jane. I am intrigued by the notion of Jenny casting bones in response to Sunnydale weirdness. It begs the question of what she made of the events in the episodes she missed. The kids start acting up in class? Signs point to possession. Everyone suddenly enamoured by the new substitute professor? Bones say she's a giant bug.

The Fight is an episode the really just proves that Voyager COULDVE done so much more with Chakotay but they really just. never do

Every time I see a 'Tara cheats on Willow with Buffy' scenario:

Which is a surprising bit, I just think that if you want Dark Willow to have an entirely valid axe to grind and to be pushed with the straw that breaks the camel's back in Season 4 or 5 that's exactly how you'd get it. Willow forgave Tara pretty swiftly for the events of Family......because in the end there was no literally smacking her in the trauma button with a sledgehammer. This scenario, after the way things ended with Oz, would 100% be that.

Though if I wrote it, it'd be the same casual 'secrets for me, transparency for thee' standard Tara kept up and biting her and Willow just shrugs, moves to L.A. and stays there quite happily and leaves the Scoobies to themselves in Season 4 and avoids the whole Dark Willow thing entirely while being drawn into everything with Angel Investigations instead thinking she was out but whoopsie.

Since it's also Willow I see her doing this in radio silence and deciding to repay the same treatment with compound interest and one fine day her friends just realize she didn't show up for a while and then she's in Los Angeles doing her own thing and leaving people to the mess they made in Sunnydale. Would it be an entirely rational response? No. This would reopen old wounds with someone who really didn't handle them well in the first place and as Willow gains the power to do increasingly greater damage without the Hellmouth to screw with her magic, she'd have no real reasons to go back to Sunnydale at all.

Doesn't mean the Scoobies would just sit back and accept this or that either Buffy or Tara would admit that maybe it was playing with fire to do this in the first place given canonically Buffy has the self perception of a rock and Tara at multiple points is a shameless hypocrite, though her own bad actions never went to 'destroy the world in a suicidal spasm' levels as Willow's did.

i keep fucking forgetting i left off at a really bad line and having to reread it again...

[synthville]

nah star trek picard really looked me in the face and told me to take my gay ass to hell lmao. like you’re telling me after making it through a season while buckling under grief and immense trauma they choose each other, get one onscreen kiss and dassit? the most integral and stable parts (maybe. they could’ve broken up the second they left guinans bar in the s2 finale for all i know) of their entire relationship happened between seasons? off-fucking-screen?!? yeah this show ain’t fucking serious. at all. they were together (how long? no one fucking knows!) and i ain’t even get to see that? sick and twisted lmao. didn’t even try. didn’t even pretend to try. teased seven and raffi’s relationship for a season and a half only to wrap shit up in 30 seconds—what happened to privacy. why was worf even in that scene like he couldn’t take a step back? why were they trying to present it as a jokey joke too like star trek picard what’s funny? nothing exactly. they really said here damn scram lol?????

i just. an offscreen breakup that is still a mystery because ????? because nothing. it’s not like they care so why not just get it over with in episode 1? what was the goal here? a breakup which was telegraphed yet dragged out for no discernible reason. biggest waste of time since idk when. and all this fast tracking time jumping shit they keep doing with their relationship is so transparent and boring. just zero investment. why are they allergic to telling coherent stories! and also joy!

god. what even is there to say about this bullshit that hasn’t been said. what’s the takeaway here? what was gained.

[spoonhate]

While I do really appreciate the Mob Psycho fandom being really accepting of blasian headcanons and different interpretations of the characters in general, I do have to say this.

Y'all are allergic to making the MOMS the black parent, so I'm addressing and fixing that right now.

In my mind there does exist a fanfic and it’s a one shot and it has no point beyond like, Bruce is a bad parent to Jason. I think there’s a desire to like force that out and make it clear cut and that leads to things like Bruce being overtly abusive in some fanfics. But I have 0 tolerance for fathers so he’s already overtly abusive enough in canon for me and this between the panels fanfic in my mind is just opening that up and showing it to the reader by making it so obvious it can’t be ignored (but not by Bruce because he can ignore anything).
